Apple flips off Google, says no voice for you!!!

Apple has denied Google Voice on their app store. Why would they do this?

An idea, made by TechCrunch, is a very sound one. They say that AT&T is to be blamed for the absence of Google Voice on the iPhone. They are frightened by the idea of FREE SMS MESSAGING and LOW-PRICED LONG-DISTANCE CALLING FEES OVER GOOGLE VOICE LINES.

Google is not giving up and will retaliate by making Voice a web-based application later in the year.

This is the second time Google has had it’s apps rejected by Apple, something smells funny and I think it’s one of the apples in the tree.

The Zii Egg Plaszma makes me want an omelette and a new music player

Last night I made a post about how my iPod Touch was the best gadget that I’ve ever laid hands on.

Today, my opinion just got a change of heart.

I was looking at Gizmodo today, reading their daily posts, and I found an article about the Zii Egg Plaszma by Creative.

This little machine has an advantage over the iPod Touch because it holds Android within its plastic (don’t quote me on the material of which its made of just yet) interior.

This little device seems to have all the functions to make me want to toss my iPod Tocuh away(or sell it in order to get the Zii).

Cnet also has a more indepth look at the Zii and its features.

The iPod Touch: My Life in the Palm of my Hand.

 
Recently, I flooded my Sony Vaio with a cup of my sweet elixir, coffee.

I never thought I would survive without my beloved laptop, until I realized my iPod Touch was a mini computer and my savior.

It allowed me to surf the web with Safari, even though I still Miss Firefox.

It holds all my precious music that I’ve accumulated for years. It also holds my podcasts that fill my day with commentary and news every morning and night.

All the apps make my day go as smooth as possible. These apps include mail, notes, the weather channel and games like flight control and drop 7.

This handy little took carries me through the day. This gadget is one of the best pieces of tech I’ve seen since the pc.

More than meets the...OMG!

Holy crap! Gizmodo posted some photos from Comic-Con today that totally blew my mind.

A woman created the most fantastic costume I’ve seen at any event like Comic-Con. It is Bumblebee from the recent live action Transformers films!

Europe given a Side of Browsers with their Windows 7

European Window 7 buyers get to rejoice as they indulge in the options they have to download browsers other than the pre-loaded Internet Explorer.

The European version of Windows 7 will give the users a choice of downloading a number of browsers, such as Firefox or Google Chrome, and disabling the default browser, Internet Explorer.

This move may just be made in order to ward off some heavy fines and an antitrust conviction from European officials.

Windows 7 will be launched on October 22nd and the update for this exclusive option will be launched shortly after, as stated by Bradford L. Smith, the general counsel of Microsoft.
